Disagree, a replay is the worst possible result for Arsenal. 3 mins left

 

[PendlePie]

No, it's not. The same side will play, the same regulars will be rested.

Not as doom or gloom as the media or commentators make it seem.

The more concerning thing is the form of Sanchez and Ox. How many chances did Sanchez want to pull the trigger in that last bit of play? His style of play is becoming predictable and his lack of form is becoming a bit of an issue now.

Good reminder that Oxlade-Chamberlain should not, in fact, bother to wear a strip for the Barcelona game, because he should not at any stage be anywhere near the pitch.

Same with Walcott. He is stealing money from Arsenal.

He's truly horrendous. Murders the basic aspects of the game time and again. Can't be relied on.

Would rather see Coq partner Elneny with Ramsey at RW for the Barcelona game.

You never heard of a thing called injuries? This means we've got another game added on over what the rest of the top 4 have, explain to me how the **** that is a good thing? Would have preferred the loss than the replay.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

****ing shit house. Scary to think that our centre back was giving us the most drive once Iwobi and Campbell went off.

The **** knows what goes through Wengers head sometimes. Literally a week ago his substitutions were on point, today they were all over the place, with both games being identical in terms of how they were played, in fact if anything Hull showed less intent going forward.

 

[PendlePie]

You're being ridiculous now charcoalchicken

We'll be fielding the same players we did today. If we get one or so injuries to one of those starting players bar the two CBs, it's not something we can't handle.

We'll be fine. The issue is how crap some of our players are at the minute.

 

[Latro]

If Ramsey played like Sanchez just did he would be getting torn to shreds. His form is a massive worry.

Only Giroud is playing well.

 

[Benno_900]

I would not start Sanchez in midweek.

He's been worse than Ox since his injury.

 

[PendlePie]

Upon realizing that our replay will likely result in a shift of an EPL game, I've changed my tack. Replay isn't ideal.

Win rate of 47% when Flamini plays 45 minutes +.

Alexis has been awful. In 26 games he has only scored in six of them for a total of 10 goals. Which is no where near enough for someone who was brought in to be our focal point despite playing out wide.

He's been poor since his purple patch late last year. Injury hasn't helped, but Alexis and Giroud just lack cohesion. Neither of them adds to the other's game. It's becoming an issue and its on Alexis to up his game.

He needs to have his head pulled in and told to play the basics and stop taking on 2-3 defenders at a time. Use your teammates, play the team game, and the goals (and results) will come.

Against Leicester we looked most threatening when Alexis used Monreal's overlapping to our advantage. When he goes it alone it can work when he's in form, but now it's becoming a liability.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Disastrous result, Our Swansea game at home will now be postponed.

 

[PendlePie]

Then again, did we really like the idea of United, Swansea and Spurs in the one week?

Could be a blessing in disguise. UCL won't be a worry for us after the next two games.

Yeah its getting a tad ridiculous. Receive ball out wide, cut in = turnover. Rinse and repeat.

He should be forced to play on the right (more often), where his main aim can be to get in behind the defence and get one on one with the goalie.

 

[Latro]

IMO Alexis does not trust or respect most of the Arsenal players and is why he goes for goal most of the time.

I wouldn't mind it if it was the Spurs game that was getting postponed lol

He's also horribly out of form.

 

[Shoei]

Surprise surprise our inability to score once again shows its ugly head.

Sanchez, for such a talented player, is too predictable with his cutting back inside to shoot each time. Defenders have watched the tapes Alexis, time to try something new.

Ox, Walcott, Ramsey, Flamini and Campbell are lucky to scrounge one goal between them every so often...some £400k+ a week in wages right there well spent.

 

[glenferry23]

Some terrible finishing. Glaring misses by Walcott and then Ox fluffed another great chance created by Giroud.

Sanchez just doesn't look the same. Struggled at the start of the season, then had a sudden burst of form. Got injured and has had a long layoff, but really struggling to get back into any type of form.

Looks a shadow of himself, and is so damn predictable with the ball.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

We have needed a top class striker since RVP left ( 4 seasons now ) and I can't see us being able to get anyone in the summer either, its just depressing.

 

[windyhill]

Too predictable Alexis, said it for awhile now.

 

[kreglze]

Glad I fell asleep before the game started. We don't seem to have that clinical finishing we need. Though the keeper from the highlights seemed to play pretty well too. I don't know what about us makes keepers play so well. Are we too obvious where we are putting the ball?

 

[windyhill]

Even when Arsenal win @ home , the opposition keeper is generally m.o.t.m.
